qt4-mac-devel: update to 4.8.7 (snapshot 2015-04-07-6)

[RJVB (René Bertin)]

I've updated port:qt4-mac-devel to provide the current (2015-04-07-6) snapshot of the upcoming Qt 4.8.7 . The portdirectory is an almost verbatim copy of the one submitted in #46238.

Testers *really* welcome.

I'm attaching a complete diff against the current release port:qt4-mac-devel; the files are also available through my github repo at ​https://github.com/RJVB/mp-port-repository/tree/master/aqua/qt4-mac-devel .

Your portfile is very strange. Why are you having it include another file?

[RJVB (René Bertin)]

I've been doing this for all the Qt ports I'm working on; I find it very convenient for development. For one, it helps to avoid accidental wiping of the work directory, which is a huge boon for something as huge as Qt. It's not something that I'm adamant to maintain once the port is ready to be released, though.

However, supposing that at some point we may need to support multiple Qt 5 versions via port:qt5-mac (as a function of OS X version, like ld64 used to do), it will also help keep Portfile complexity down. Idem for subports, btw.

NB:

A security advisory has just been published concerning vulnerabilities in Qt image format handling: ​http://lists.qt-project.org/pipermail/announce/2015-April/000067.html

The Qt 4.8.7 snapshot provided by this port already contains the fixes.

[RJVB (René Bertin)]

FWIW:

Qt 4.8.7 has been released, and I uploaded an updated port directory to my repository (​https://github.com/RJVB/mp-port-repository/tree/master/aqua/qt4-mac-devel).

Let me point out once more that I have no objection against merging the 2-part Portfile into a single file (as a last step before the port gets committed).

I just updated qt4-mac to 4.8.7 in r137005. I'm closing this ticket as "fixed" since this update is the real point of the ticket. Please rebase your git repo based on these changes.
